Erin Condren Giveaway!!

Hi Everyone! How was your 4th of July? Sleepy from all the fireworks, parades, and fun?

Well WAKE UP!!

I'm celebrating my...

What is that you say? Well... I just recently celebrated 800 blog followers and now I have 800 Bloglovin followers! :)

PLUS- I'm doing this again....

This time the LOVELY Erin Condrenstaff are generously donating this amazing prize!!!

Let me take a minute to tell you about the product I just purchased from EC~

The Teacher Planner

(ahhhhhh!!)

I actually was unaware of the EC greatness until just about 2 months ago when there was a great sale for teachers during the month of May. I did some research and was pleasantly surprised at how personal the planners could be. I decided to take the plunge and get one.

It took about 2 weeks to get this....

Anything that comes in a box like that HAS to be good!

Here is my planner! You have so many options when choosing your cover. You can even pick the colors/patterns!

It is unbelievably sturdy! I was surprised at the durability of the cover and the coils. The pages are thick paper too.

I splurged a bit and put a pic on the inside cover- there are many options for you when creating the planner- none of which you have to do!

I'm loving these tabs! According to the video on erincondren.com these are new this year.

What teacher doesn't love to know when there is a holiday!

The inside pages are ALL so pretty and colorful!I didn't get a picture of this but there are 2 page spreads of EVERY MONTH!! I'm filling these in already!

Here are some more pages...

birthdays

attendance

grid paper

Here is what I love! A year at a glance! Long term planning here I come!

Here are the actual planning pages. I have made my own pages for the past few years so we will see how I like the layout of this. I do like the colors separating the days of the week and being able to see the whole day while the book is open.

I love the idea of having stickers at the end- this will save some time when adding things like assemblies or birthdays {plus SUPER cute!}

I am excited to fill these pages with data! There are perforated pages so you don't have to write your student's names over and over each time!

You can pay a bit extra to add more of these pages.

There is a heavy duty folder and a ruler you can put in and out of the spiral easily (you can also use this as a bookmark).

Finally, there is a fun pouch, plastic protective sheets, and a two year calendar at the end. I also splurged again and added a pen holder- which I know I will love this year (when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to look for a pen!!).

So, I know you didn't need any convincing on how great this is, but I hope you got a little glimpse into why teachers are all in a tizzy over these things!

I would not tell you something is great if I didn't think it was! And I am pretty much attached to my planner- and school has NOT even started yet!!! :)

{don't tell anyone but I am carrying it around like it is my blanket}

Not a teacher? There are SO many more products to purchase including the Life Planner (I'm dying to get my hands on!). And so much more!!

I love Erin Condren! I bought my first one last year and took it with me everywhere. Unfortunately, I bought mine for the 2013-2014 school year BEFORE they made al the awesome changes...Oh well I still have a great planner. I think I'd use the $50 to purchase an acrylic box to use at my wedding. I think they would make a great card holder, that I could reuse in my home.

I have never had an Erin Condren product before but, considering I am known at school for being Type A and loving organization, I would really like to have a teacher planner. :)Thank you for the giveaway!Amanda

I just bought my first planner as well! I'm so excited to get to use mine this year! I'd love to have the matching clipboard as well to keep on my desk! I love that everything is so matchy-matchy... it makes my heart giddy!

YIPPEE!! I already bought my teacher planner. BUT.....I want to give one to my teaching partner. We have been together for 17 years! Same school, same grade! We are an AMAZING team! I will give my "wining" teacher planner to her! THANKS!!! wendy 1stgradefireworks@gmail.com 1stgradefireworks

Congrats on your followers.:) I just found my love for all things Erin Condren too. I think I was either on Pinterest or blogging... But after I found the website I fell in love. I even watched the video on the teacher planner and knew that I had to have one. I love the TABS! I am tabs person even in my old planners I would spend time adding on tabs for each month because I just had to have them. Thanks for this giveaway. Kinders on the Block

I would get a Teacher Planner. I have just seen the wonderful products offered and am trying not to obsess. I received a gift card from school as a gift after surgery. I am really trying NOT to use it for school stuff. However, I am not the lucky winner, I may have to use it for a planner. It isn't just for school...is it????

I would LOVE to get a life planner! I am a teacher, but as a high school teacher, I feel like I wouldn't have enough space or it wouldn't be as practical for me to get a teacher planner! I am addicted to using planners and ever since my friend posted a picture of hers last year, I have been eyeing them!!!

I have wanted an Erin Condren life planner forever and haven't been able to afford one. :( I have recently been looking at the teacher planners and I have feel in love, lol. I would love to win this give-a-way so that I could finally afford one. Mrs. Janelle Bush janellebush@yahoo.com

Hey Tori! What an AMAZING give away! I just received my planner and am attached to mine like my son to his blankie as well! :) If I won, I'd buy one of my amazing co-workers a planner...or save it for next year's planner for myself :)TheresaPinkadots Elementary

I paid for mine)anyhow, I already have her life planner and it is my blanky too!!So, If I won I would definitely get the teacher planner--the video looks fantastic!!JessicaTales of a First Grade Teacher

I just purchased my first Life Planner and am super excited to receive it in the mail! I buy planners 2-4 times a year looking for one that I like and will keep using! I love Erin Condren's setup of her planner, and I know that this will definitely be a winner for me!

Happy 800 followers! Wow!!!! I LOVE Erin Condren and I definitely have to say her planner are awesome! I love both the teacher planner and the personal or wedding planner. If I won I'd pick one of those for sure! Thanks for the opportunity to win! :o)

I want the teacher planner! I got the life planner as a gift last Christmas, and I am totally in love. I get compliments on it whenever I pull it out. Now I need the teacher planner to organize my professional life!

I'm actually already waiting for my Lesson Planner from Erin Condren to arrive, but I would loooooove to get the Life Planner, or the personalized clipboard...actually I would love just about anything from her site because all of her stuff is just awesome!

I LOVE Erin Condren and have for years. This is my 2nd year to use the Life Planner and it's just full of happiness! After 3 years away from the classroom to stay home with my little guy it's time to return this Fall. I'm dying to get the EC Lesson Plan Book because I know how much I will love using it!

Hi Pamella! Yes, my plan is to use it for my plans too. Like I said above, it will be different than I am used to and the jury is out whether or not I will like that part of the planner. Everything else is right on- for the money! :) Hope that helps!Tori

I'm interested in purchasing a wedding planner. or maybe a paisley iphone cover to match my life planner. :) Love Erin Condren stuff!! Thanks for the opportunity, and I'm excited to dig into your blog as a newly graduated teacher.

I recently discovered Erin Condren's products and I have been obsessed with them ever since! My favorite is her life planner, but her teacher planner sounds amazing too. Once I become a teacher, I will definitely be looking at her teacher planner more.

I LOVE this giveaway! I have been eyeing the teacher planner for about a week now (since I first discovered her) and have fallen in love. I am a brand new teacher (just graduated in May) and would love to have this to keep me organized with important dates, grade book, and notes.
